Sales of the Desolate Soldiers shot higher and higher. As did the sales for the Holy Soldier.
The introduction of the Prideful Soldier opened up a third meteoric sales run. Many outfits and organizations who found the Desolate Soldiers to be uncomfortable finally received a viable alternative.
The lower price point along with the aggressive, prideful aura became an instant hit among gangs and underground organizations!
The Soldier product line was on track to become the defining mechs of the Sand War. Due to the product line's cost efficiency, auras, proliferation in the media and the Stripes of Humanity, the LMC heavily overperformed to the point that the industry started to compare them to companies run by Seniors!
The LMC contracted an unprecedented number of third-party manufacturers to meet the astronomic demand of the local mech markets. Pretty much every state under threat and even the states not under threat began to harken for the Desolate Soldier model or its variants.
With the Militant Soldier and the Peaceful Soldier halfway to completion, Ves anticipated an even greater boost to sales!
In the second month of the Desolate Soldier's release, the LMC and its partners already shipped almost 200,000 mechs!
200,000 mechs! That was an immense figure that completely blew the sales figures of the LMC's older mech models out of the water!
Though there were already signs that the sales for the Desolate Soldier had reached a high point, it stood to reason that the LMC earned an immense amount of money!
"Sadly, inflation keeps getting worse." He muttered.
In the first month since the Desolate Soldier's release, inflation averaged at around 10 percent.
In the second month, inflation had already approached 20 percent, which meant that everyone's savings and cash accumulations were worth that much less!
The consequences of inflation reached far and wide, disrupting nearly every aspect of the regional economy. Both mech manufacturers such as the LMC and average people felt the pain of rising prices and decreasing discretionary incomes.
When the Desolate Soldier model first went on sale, a bronze label edition could be bought for 20 million bright credits.
Now, the same mech sold for 26.4 million credits. Inflation grew so significantly each day that the LMC was forced to correct its list prices every day!
Even though the LMC's monthly earnings surpassed 100 billion credits due to high sales volumes and rich license fees, the actual value of these piles of cash was not as immense as everyone hoped!
"The rate of inflation tracks the growth of prices from a huge and diverse basket of goods and services." Ves reminded himself. "Some products have outpaced the rate of inflation, and they just happen to be the ones that we need the most!"
He could outright forget about buying a starship unless he promised to fork over ten times the price. Even a second-hand rust bucket built in the time when his grandfather was born suddenly became as expensive as a light carrier!
If not for the immense scale of the mech industry, the prices of mechs would have outpaced the rate of inflation as well!
While inflation brought plenty of bad news, Ves recognized an unanticipated benefit from this recent development.
Didn't the rise in prices mean that the System awarded him with even more DP than before?
His eyes widened! He shot out from his bed in his mansion, grabbed Lucky who was staring at him creepily and raced towards his bathroom!
Once he sat down at his toilet and activated the necessary security precautions, he activated the System.
"Come on, come on, gimme more DP!" He hollered excitingly.
The System took an unusually long time to boot up. It was as if it was prolonging its user's anticipation!
After a minute, the System finally booted up. A notification instantly popped up but Ves swiped it aside.
"Status!"
All he cared about right now was ascertaining how much DP he earned in the last few months!

"Over 1 million DP! Hahahaha! I'm rich!"
Ves practically went into ecstasy when he saw how much DP he earned since he last activated the System!
"Meow?" Lucky tilted his head as he lay in the washbowl of the bathroom.
"Hahahahaha—wait a minute! Shouldn't it be more?"
The LMC sold well over 200,000 units of mechs these past two months. Even though many of the mechs had been produced by third-party manufacturers, they still adhered to his design, which meant the System still recognized them as his own.
The System used the full sales price of the mech to determine how much DP Ves was entitled to receive. Even if the mech sold at a loss, Ves would still gain in DP because the System did not take expenses into account.
According to the formula the System used to calculate his DP earnings, 1 million bright credits corresponded to 1 Design Point.
Ves did not need to draw upon his Journeyman-level Mathematics Skill to know that 200,000 mechs that sold for at least 20 million bright credits each corresponded to more than 4,000,000 DP!
In fact, it should have been even greater due to the consequences of inflation!
"Where is my missing 3 million DP! Answer me System!" Ves roared at the System comm.
As usual, the System didn't respond at all, but Ves wasn't satisfied with the lack of answers!
He removed the comm from his System and slammed it against his toilet bowl!
Fortunately, Ketis designed his toilet to be extraordinarily resilient. Made with expensive exotics, it took a mech to inflict actual damage to the toilet bowl!
Loud impact noises echoed loudly throughout the bathroom as Ves attempted to force an answer from the System!
After the twentieth strike, Ves subsided a bit. There was no point tormenting the System like this. With how exceptional his System comm looked, it was probably tougher than his toilet bowl at this point!
"Wasn't there a notification at the start?" He suddenly recalled.
Ves manipulated the System's interface until he came back to the message he initially brushed off in his haste to view his Status.
[Congratulations for earning 1,000,000 Design Points from a single mech design! Reaching this pivotal achievement marks the end of your introductory period.
The Mech Designer System has observed your growth and improvement throughout your usage of the various services made available to you. Your progress during your introductory period has been deemed adequate.
As a reward for passing the introductory period, the Mech Designer System now deems you an approved user.
Becoming an approved user means that your usage rights have been expanded. The following changes will be enacted as a result of your change in status:
An approved user can extend or revoke access to the Mech Designer System to other mech designers.
An approved user must exchange 1,000,000 Design Points to extend access of the Mech Designer System to other users.
The Mech Designer System will not refund the Design Points when access is revoked. The full amount must be exchanged again to extend access to the same guest user again.
Guest users who have been granted access to the Mech Designer System cannot earn Design Points.
Guest users can only spend Design Points from the account of the approved user that has given them access.
An approved user will no longer be eligible to earn Design Points under the subsidized awarding scheme.
From this point onwards, an approved user can only earn Design Points upon designing a mech and making notable achievements such as creating masterwork mechs. The Mech Designer System has adjusted the awarding formulas as a result.
Skills from the Skill Tree and items from the Shop will no longer be offered at subsidized terms.
Please endeavor to complete the Supply Missions issued to you to improve the current terms of exchange.]
Ves practically puked blood at this incredibly shocking announcement!
What introductory period?
What subsidized awarding scheme?
"Are you messing with me, System?! At least give me back my 3 million Design Points!"
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
This time, Ves slammed the System comm against his toilet bowl for three straight minutes! Abusing it for one minute for every million DP he missed out on did nothing to relieve his heartache!
"Meow!"
Lucky was so alarmed at Ves' insane behavior that he floated all the way up to the ceiling of the bathroom!
After some time, Ves finally grew tired of tantrums. He wearily inspected the System's interface in order to see what kind of benefits he received as an approved user.
[Mech Designer System Menu]

He ran down the menus one by one and tried to see what changed.
The Designer suite had expanded. The System offered him a lot more tools while empowering the existing ones to offer him more assistance.
Ves hardly cared about this benefit because it wasn't wise to use the Designer in the company of others.
Missions remained unchanged, and so did Inventory.
Shop and Skill Tree experienced major changes. Ves could only obtain some of the items and goods on offer if he met certain prerequisites.
The amount of DP he needed to exchange for a Skill had also been increased! In fact, the prices would increase even further as Ves accumulated more and more Skills and Sub-Skills, as if the System discouraged him from overloading his mind with too much irrelevant knowledge!
What alarmed Ves quite a bit was that while he could continue to upgrade his existing Skills and Sub-Skills, he already reached the limit of what he could learn!
In fact, according to the System, he overdrafted his current limitations, which meant that at this moment, he couldn't buy anything else!
His nagging suspicion from before that he couldn't accumulate an endless amount of knowledge had been proven right!
"How can I expand the amount of Skills I can learn?!"
[Please complete your Supply Missions or increase your Intelligence to raise this limit.]
"Is this your revenge on me for neglecting your Supply Missions?!" Ves shouted. "How am I supposed to learn anything new?! Is my mind full?!"
[This limit does not apply to self-learned knowledge.]
Ves relaxed a bit. He was not without options. The limit on accumulating Skills only applied to knowledge exchanged from the System, so he could still expand his knowledge base if he hit the books.
He continued to inspect the System by checking out Lottery. He noticed that all the lower-tier lottery tickets had been removed. The only offering available to him at the moment was a golden lottery ticket, and the System charged him a whopping 500,000 DP to exchange a single ticket!
"What a ripoff! How am I supposed to earn so much DP now that you are no longer awarding me any points for selling my mechs?!"
[An approved user and mech designer must rely on their own achievements to achieve success. The Mech Designer System has generously eased your growth by lowering many requirements and offering various subsidies. As a result, a substantial deficit in energy has arisen which must be addressed to ensure the continued functioning of the Mech Designer System.]
"Does that mean this whole 'approved user' nonsense is nothing more than an excuse meant to cut back on what I can exchange from you, System!?"
[Please contact customer support if you require any assistance.]

Humanity has conquered half the galaxy and the Age of Mechs reigns supreme!

Ves Larkinson lacked the genetic aptitude to become a famed mech pilot. Fighting against his fate, he studied mech design in order to express his love for mechs as a builder instead of a soldier.

When Ves graduated from college, he returned to a new but empty boutique. Left with a small, newly founded mech workshop that his father painstakingly built with a mountain of debt, Ves somehow needs to make ends meet with the bank breathing down his neck.

In the midst of his despair, he found salvation from another legacy his father had left.

"Welcome to the Mech Designer System. Please design your new mech."

hey guys I'm not really good at English put i'll try my best
and this is my first novel so don't except something ??

Before we left D2, we had to go to the bathroom to get the Dwarven Rum out of our system. Despite Briggs drinking more than Orai and I combined, he wasn't even buzzed. Apparently, Dwarves can enjoy all the benefits of alcohol without much of the side effects. As I was throwing up in the Drunken Sprite's bathroom, I wished that the mugs were smaller than 50 oz. It was clear that those mugs were meant for people with dwarven-like tolerance.

Once Orai and I finished our business, we walked out of D2 with Briggs inbetween us. It was around 7:00 PM in the evening when we finally left The Drunken Sprite. We still had the 150 DP for the room and hallway but no other DP to spare. She inscribed magic markings with 'J & O' on the back of Briggs' hand so Briggs would be able to enter D1. While we were initially planning to visit Briggs' place, Briggs decided to head over to our dungeon first. He said that leaving a dungeon unplanned was 'unacceptable' for an architect. It also didn't help that we nothing but a single room and two hallways.

"Jesus, lads! I can't let that shite slide! Is that actually the layout of yer dungeon? I can't even call that layout ah dungeon! I see why ye needed an Architect so badly!", Briggs said.

We headed over to the Dwarven District's Townsquare and to let Briggs get gear from his house. As we waited for him, Orai and I took out the books we bought earlier. While I was looking through "How To Build A Dungeon Like A Pro!" and "Encyclopedia of Mobs and Monsters!", Orai was reading "99 Ways To Make The Best Food In D2!". I knew that Hidarus was the God Of War and Mera was the Goddess Of Wisdom but who was the author named Ambri?

"Orai. Who is Ambri? Is she a chef or something?", I asked.

"What? No! Ambri is the Goddess of Food and Wine! Everything she writes is considered gospel to cooks in D2! She's personally one of my favorite Goddesses! I've never seen her in person so hopefully, I'll get a chance to meet her. As far as I know, she helps train cooks who are A-rank and above at the culinary school in the academic district", Orai said.

I thought it was interesting but I didn't realize she like food that much. She was definitely a foodie. While we continued to wait, I was looking over 'HTBAD' to see what was next on the agenda. It seems that we needed to work with Briggs to come up with an ideal layout before adding a more diverse set of mobs. Before I got to read 'EMM', Briggs walked towards us.

"Ok, lads! I'm ready to be yer architect! Take us to yer dungeon!", Briggs said.

Briggs was currently sitting on the hand of a beautifully crafted Golem. The Golem was covered in matte-gold, paladin-like armor and seemed to be strangely human-like. It wore a helmet, with the inside glowing a goldish-yellow. It was slightly intimidating, as it stood 10-feet tall. As the golden golem placed Briggs on the ground, I noticed that it was wearing a large backpack, which was made with a mix of dwarven metal and leather. It seemed to be reinforced, with the dwarven metal being in the most critical places.

"This is my Golem, B05E. I prefer to call him Bose though. He's an A+ rank Golem that is in its fifth generation. Once I finally reach S rank, I'll be able to make this beauty into an S-rank beast! Since I was retired, he's mostly been helping me around the shop but he can be a great fighter when needed! He'll help us by getting the materials that we need to build the structures, as well as helping me build them. Bose! Say hi to our new colleagues!", Briggs said.

"Bose!", Bose stated.

"Don't worry. I can speak Bose's language! I made it so you need this ring to understand what he's saying. He can speak normally sometimes though. Bose! Speak normally!", Briggs said.

"Bose. Say. Hi!", Bose said.

As Orai began to inscribe a magic circle on Bose, we were able to get a good look at him. It seemed that Briggs was also an expert on creating golems since Bose seemed to be an advanced creation. Briggs told us that Bose ran on a rare Valsium core but he wanted to install a more legendary core. He said that he would be willing to create less advanced golems for us but he felt that it wouldn't be needed. He said that the lowest Golems he can make are C rank.

After we were done preparing, Orai started the teleportation process. It took a little longer than usual but that was due to the addition of Briggs and Bose. The four of us were taken to D1, with Briggs immediately looking over the design of the Dungeon Control Room.

"Luckily, the dungeon wasn't attacked while we were in D2! It's almost 8:00 so I'm guessing the monsters are going to come out at night. We'll need to ready our defenses and start building", I said.

"What the fook is this lads? Do you call this ah bed? I wouldn't even lay my arse on it. It looks as comfortable as walking into a succubus-joint with ya wife and kids! I see why ye were so desperate. Bose! Destroy this pile of minotaur shite!", Briggs said.

"Bose. Destroy!", Bose said.

As we watched Bose destroy our only bed, we saw Briggs take out drawing boards, protractors, compasses, pencils, drawing pens, brushes, gloves, hammers, and more items from Bose's backpack. He began to quickly sketch a design before handing it to us.

"I won't let ya sleep on that centaur shite again lads. Nothing but ah eyesore to me! Bose is going to build beds for you and me while we start planning your dungeon design", Briggs said.

The three of us teleported to the entrance of the dungeon, where the golems, elementals, and slimes were waiting. We also saw the Dire Wolf wake up and run towards us.

"Oi. What the fook is that? I thought ye were ah beginner! That's ah Dark Dire Wolf! Those are rare in Orune! I barely saw any when I was still living here!", Briggs said surprised.

Briggs was initially wary of the Dire Wolf but the Dire Wolf began to lick his bald head. Since he didn't have any hair, he wasn't as mad as most people would be. After trying to hold it in, Briggs began to laugh.

"Hahaha! I guess my hunch was right about ye two! This should be an interesting time together! Never would've guessed my head would be licked by a 10-foot Dire Wolf! Let's begin the process of yer Dungeon Planning lads!", Briggs said.

As Briggs walked with us outside of the dungeon, he was petting the Dire Wolf's fur. It seemed that the Dire Wolf took a liking to him.

"Lads. What's the name of this pet of yours? It seems that I made ah new friend!", Briggs said.

"We didn't really name it yet but I was thinking of calling it Obsidian since it's a dark-type", I said.

As Obsidian and Briggs were getting along, Briggs looked at our dungeon from the outside.

"Hm. It seems that this dungeon's built into the mountain but it's in the middle of the grasslands. We could build towards the top of the mountain or we could make it an underground dungeon. Personally, I would suggest making it underground since it will be sufficiently hidden. Making any potential enemies have to go deeper underground to loot and break the core will help us. The problem with making a vertical dungeon tower is that people could find ways around reaching the top. However, if we build it underground, we can have unlimited potential towards our dungeon planning. There's also no size restrictions as well so I heavily recommend it for ye lads", Briggs said.

It was clear by Briggs' tone that he was gradually becoming his serious, architect self. It was like his personality completely shifted to one of a professional. Since he had his backpack on his person, he took out a sheet of Dwarven paper and a pair of pens/pencils. He began doing rough sketches of his ideas while looking at the landscape.

"I guess we'll go with an underground dungeon then. We can keep the first floor but move the core to the lowest level. I think that each floor of the dungeon should have multiple rooms, hallways, traps, monsters, etc. The longer we can keep hostiles in the dungeon, the more DP that we could gain. Is there any design that utilizes that concept?", I said.

"Hm. Ye are a smart lad, Jordan. I was thinking the same thing! The question is how ye want it designed? Linear? Linear with sidetracks? Branching? Circular Routes? The Cross? Or maybe randomized? Just tell me which one suits yer fancy lad! Hahaha!", Briggs said.

As Orai and I tried to keep up with the designs he said, we realized that we were utterly confused. Even though I played games similar to this, I didn't know what the dungeon designs were actually called. Luckily, the 'HTBAD' had a page of over 50+ dungeon layouts that we could seek inspiration from. Since I had to learn what they were called first, I decided to simplify our current design.

"For now, we need an effective plan for our current dungeon once we add the hallway and room to it. Can you draft a plan that utilizes our current resources in the best possible way?", I said.

With 2 rooms, three hallways, and our current selection of mobs; Briggs began to plan our first layout.

He decided upon the name: 'The Constrictor'.

Although concerned about the description of the taste, Angela still selected confirm; It was the most suitable source of food. A round, brown fruit appears in Angela's hand, looking a little like a rotten peach with a slightly sticky surface. 

Angela shudders at the thought of eating something that looked so unappealing but it had to be done. She scrunched her face up and pinched her nose, tentatively taking a bite before almost spitting it out immediately after; the taste was horrible. It wasn't even just the taste but the texture that was horrible too. The cultivators certainly named it aptly; it was akin to eating mud. Angela somehow manages to swallow the whole fruit down despite gagging, as well as a coughing fit she has after. The fruit had left behind 2 small seeds that looked somewhat similar to sunflower seeds with a broad rounded end that tapered off to a pointed tip. Angela thought about planting the seeds now but, as she currently had no way of getting water, she decided to put them to the side instead.

With her hunger satiated, Angela now had two options. The first option was to look at the third category of the creation tab while the other was to look at the third tab that appeared when she got the achievement; it was labelled 'blueprints'. Blueprints sounded like it would be complicated and time consuming so Angela first decided to check out the structures menu, hoping for furniture such as a table and a mirror. After opening the tab however, she was somewhat disappointed as it was much more simplified.

[Structure

dirt brick: 0.1 anima
clay brick (unfired): 0.3 anima
wooden plank: 0.5 anima
???: (build a clay brick wall 3m long and 2m high to unlock)
???: (unlock requirements unknown)]

Sadly, no furniture was available from this tab; causing Angela to be somewhat downcast as she thought about the three things unlocked in the menu. With regards to the dirt brick Angela immediately discarded the thought of building anything with it right now as she was, due to her upbringing, very cleanly and hated getting dirt inside where she lived. 

As for the clay brick, the add-on of (unfired) suggests that in order to use it Angela would have to first find a way to fire them. She had read about this in books but had no practical experience of it; it would have to be put on hold. The last option was promising but looking around her, Angela noticed that the number of planks required to build the shed she was in was quite high and at 0.5 anima per plank it would be very pricy to build with so she kept that thought for later.

Finally it was time to look at the blueprints tab. While Angela didn't have any professional training in blueprints and engineering, she had taken the school course for it and thus has some idea of what to expect.

She opens the tab and a window divided into three sections appears. On the left side was a list of all the materials she has unlocked so far as well as their costs per m³.

[Materials
dirt: 1 anima
sand: 2 anima
clay: 3 anima
wood: 5 anima]

On the right hand side are many of the tools Angela recognised from her course such as the pencil, rule and eraser as well as the more complicated tools that are usually seen in professional software like the one her school used. In short, as long as Angela could think of something she could probably make it using these tools.

Angela ponders what to design. As a young lady naturally she cared a lot about her appearance and hygiene so the first things she thought of were the usual bathroom implements that she was so used to; things like her mirror, hairbrush and toothbrush all came to mind but sadly had to be shelved due to a lack of suitable materials. Angela didn't care for the wooden hairbrushes sometimes found in stores as they hurt her hair and she preferred the more gentle and malleable plastic ones. 

Next she thought of a sink and toilet which (despite her lack of knowledge about plumbing) she could make a primitive version of, one without plumbing or water. First she decided to make the sink. For this, as well as the toilet, the void surrounding her would actually be of use as It made for a great way to dispose of waste. Angela didn't quite feel comfortable with the thought of that but for lack of a better alternative she has no choice.

Starting with the base Angela draws a wooden circle about the size of a bowling ball and uses the extrude function to turn it into a cylinder. Next she hollows it so that there is a hole all the way down to the bottom, about the width of a tennis ball. After the base is complete all that is left is the basin. For this section Angela makes a sphere and then cuts it in half both vertically and horizontally, leaving a quarter segment which she then hollows, attaches to the base and cuts a hole in to match the base. When she was done Angela stares proudly at her new creation for a moment and then clicks confirm to store the blueprint for later use, causing a new tab to open up on the blueprint window.

[Saved blueprints

sink: wood, 4 anima]

As she only had 5.3 anima at this point and the toilet is more important to her she decides to hold off on the sink for now and instead chooses to design the toilet. The design for the toilet is similar to the design for the sink, the difference being the slightly different sizes. The biggest difference was in the seat, as well as the lid. Both the seat and the lid were easy to make however, the hinge system that is usually used in modern toilets confuses Angela as she had never really paid attention to them. As such she decides that she will just attach the seat to the base and move the lid herself when she needs to; after all the reason for the seat moving was mostly for boys anyway.

[Saved blueprints

sink: wood, 4 anima
toilet: wood, 5.5 anima]

Angela lets out a wistful sigh at the cost and waits for the last 0.2 anima she needs. It didn't take long as it had already been about 50 minutes since the last time she gained anima and when she gets it she selects the toilet and places it in the corner of her room.

She started the engine of her car, buckled up and drove towards Evan's place. Ririna wiped away her tears and composed herself. She wasn't really thinking of leaving him. How could she? He was a big part of her. Truth to be told, she was just upset that he was trying to control her. She arrived at her destination several minutes later. 

As soon as she slipped out from her car, Evan was already waiting for her in the doorway. He looked down at her without any sign of surprise. Her husband might have called him to inform Evan that she was on her way. 

"Eli said you were on your way in here. I guess you two have an argument that you couldn't settle." Evan said.

"Figures. My ever control freak husband. I'll bet he will call you to make sure I arrived safely or he will throw another fit. Can I come in?"

Evan stepped aside to let her in. 

"Your big brother is a jerk." Ririna grimaced.

"Half-brother." Evan corrected her. But whether he liked it or not, he couldn't deny that even though they'd been fighting for years, they had earned the respect to each other. "You know you can't really blame him. Heck, if Ginny does the same thing, I will be spitting fire on her until she realizes how she made me worry."

Ririna tried not to roll her eyes but she didn't need another reprimand coming from Evan. 

"Where's Ginny?" Ririna asked.

"She was tired. She's still sleeping." 

"I'm sorry for going here without a notice."

"Nah, don't worry about it. We're family and we should look out for each other."

Evan's phone rang and he quickly answered it. He put the call in loudspeaker so Ririna will hear whatever Eli will say to him. 

"Hey," Evan said. 

"Is she there?" Eli asked over the phone. Ririna bit her lip. She knew he was concerned about her welfare but why he couldn't understand that he shouldn't try to control her? They were married and she expects that he somehow will listen to her before trying to make a decision. 

"Yes, she's here."

"Make sure to get her some breakfast. She hasn't eaten yet." 

"Alright. Just pick your wife when you're ready." Evan disconnected the call before looking at his sister-in-law. If someone had told him years ago that his elder brother was capable of loving someone, he would have died from laughter. Now, knowing about Ririna and Skyler, he was happy that they could bring out the other side of his stoic brother. 

In spite of Eli being a cold and arrogant brother to him, he deserves to have a family and love that he'd lost during his childhood. 

"Told you." Ririna walked on into the room and looked around her. Evan and Ginny's new home was spacious and had a modern and sophisticated design. Some of Evan's collections were displayed in their living room. Ginny's medicine books were kept and arranged alphabetically on a bookshelf. "I knew he wouldn't be able to resist checking up on me." 

"Try to understand him a bit more, Ririna. You know my brother isn't good at expressing his emotions." 

"But that doesn't mean he has to treat me like this. I love him. I really do, Evan. But it hurts whenever he tries to control me. Ever since we got married, he has the full control over everything. Where we stay, what time we should go, where to go… I don't like this feeling that I'm his puppet that has no say or to decline his wishes. He keeps exercising this power over me."

"He's always in control. I know." Evan nodded. Eli's domineering and self-control were the reasons why S&S Enterprise and the Park family were still at the top. 

"Sometimes, it feels good to depend on him but not all the time. I need to know that I have the same power and control in our relationship. I know I was wrong when I impulsively decided to come to the Eastern Province last night."

Ririna sat on the couch and sighed. She clasped her hands on her lap and looked down. 

"Did you at least try to apologize to him?"

"I did. I said I was sorry and I admitted that I was wrong but he raised up the issue about Han Zhou to try to make me submit unto him."

Evan raised a brow.

"He did?"

"Yes."

There was a laptop on the coffee table. Books and files about S&S's contracts were scattered beside of it. It seemed she arrived when Evan was busy working on these documents. 

"What would you like for breakfast?" Evan asked as he strode towards the kitchen to see what was on their fridge. 

"Nothing. Don't worry about it. I don't have an appetite to eat anything right now." Ririna remembered she throw up her dinner last night and her stomach was empty. 

"Eli said I need to feed you. You need to eat something or else he will grill me."

"Don't worry about it." Ririna groaned. She bent down to read some of his files.

"What are you working on? Are you going to check to these proposals?"
 
"No." Evan came back and turned off his laptop and tidy up his mess within the room. Ginny wouldn't like it if she found out he worked overtime again. "I'm just studying those proposals before I go to your husband for the second opinion."

"Oh? I thought you and your father are working together for S&S?" she asked. 

"We do but Eli is the one who made all these arrangements and he still likes to see each proposal before we sign them. It wouldn't hurt to ask him for the second opinion on these matters." Evan muttered before he started on the kitchen again. "I will prepare you a quick and light breakfast."

"Forget about it. I'm not hungry."

"Damn, Ririna. You're so stubborn. I kinda pity Eli for having a hard-headed wife like you."

"Oh, then you're lucky to have Ginny. At least, she tolerates your instant ramens." Ririna followed him into the kitchen.

"Eli said you need to be fed and my ramens taste heavenly. Ginny understood that."

"Okay, okay. I got it. Whatever my devil wants, he gets. Now, do you have a wine or beer? Can I have one?"

Evan glared at her. "No alcohol for breakfast." 

Ririna seated herself on a stool behind the counter and watched as Evan prepared some breakfast. Ginny arrived and was surprised to see her best friend. 

"Ririna. What brings you here?" Ginny asked as she sat beside Ririna and ran her fingers to tame her hair. She blinked when she realized Evan was cooking something that wasn't ramen. Now, that was something new for her. 

"Quarrel with her husband," Evan answered for Ririna. 

"Oh? What happened now?" Ginny turned her head to Ririna and cupped the side of her face with one hand and leaned forward to the counter. 

"Oh, you know Eli. Always in control." Ririna frowned and said a quick thanks when Evan gave her and Ginny a glass of warm milk. "He will be worried and will turn the city upside down if he didn't know where I'm going." 

"You sound like a woman with PMS. By the way, did your cycle went back to normal?" Ginny took a sip from her glass and smiled.

"Now that you mention it. I haven't got my period ever since I woke up from the coma." Ririna replied. 

Ginny's eyes widened.

"What? Why didn't you tell me sooner? The medicines should be cleared within your body now."

It was already more than two months since she woken up. Her cycle should be back to normal after a month. Ririna something very important was missing as she took a bite from the sandwich Evan made for the three of them.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ririna asked.

"It means there could be a side effect from the drugs we used or you could be pregnant," Ginny said.

"W-what?"

Ririna blinked twice and thought she was losing her mind. Could she be pregnant? But the signs and symptoms were showing up. It wasn't odd to lose a few things under stress she had been under for several weeks. Ririna let Ginny dragged her from the kitchen to the bathroom. They need some answers!

They don't have to delay. Ginny took something from their first aid kit and handed it to Ririna. Ririna looked at the pregnancy test on her hand. 

"Do it. You know how to use it, right? You won't screw up something as simple as this." Ginny told her. 

Minutes later…

Ginny went back to the bathroom to check on her best friend.

"Ririna?" she called out but her friend did not respond. Curious, she opened the door of the bathroom and saw Ririna standing at the sink staring down without moving a single muscle. Walking up behind Ririna, Ginny peeked down at what her friend was looking at. 

"I'm pregnant," Ririna whispered in disbelief. Sure enough, the test was positive with two bright red lines on it. She was pregnant for the second time around.

"Sometimes love needs a second chance, because it wasn't ready the first time."

Five years ago, she suddenly showed up on her grandfather's doorstep, asking for help to get out of the country as soon as possible. She needed to get away from her lover, taking with her their unborn child. She had enough of him, constantly breaking her fragile heart --- for the sake of protecting their child from the underworld, Ririna had to say goodbye to her unrequited love. 

Eli was a worldly man, as a future heir to the underworld empire and CEO of multi-corporations, there's nothing that he couldn't have when he wanted it. For him, there's nothing more exciting and satisfying than watching his company dominating the stock exchange and making more money. His mind made up during his childhood that he would never follow his father's steps, not be brought down on his knees by a woman, or so he thought, not until Ririna left him! His woman disappeared, taking his heart with her... 

Now, she's back!!! She wants to delve deeper into the accidental death of her mother. 

This is the chance Eli has been waiting for, this time she can't get away from him anymore. Threats and dangers are still lurking around them. Their enemies are seeking after them with lethal schemes. In this game of life and death, raising a child is not ideal. He must eliminate them all first before starting a family with Ririna, but the child he never knew he had is seeking him regardless. Is his child going to be his weakness or his strength?

"Sunset" Continent. Nichibotsu empire.Tianliang country.
 outside of  "Rìchu"`s village .
 Manor of griffin's family.
"how do you feel young master?"- asked servant Jon.
 young man nodded, with eyes indicating that everything was in order, sitting in an armchair, calmly watching the moon, stars,  remote night village and forest through a window.
"alright ,  you should go sleep now   Jon …  I am a bit tired lately, that`s all. You know, I'm in a period of growth, so sometimes you can experience ups and downs of mood , it is normal."
"good night then young master." the servant left the room and slowly went down the stairs.

It has been about 3 days since some headaches and mood swings started, but today was the most intense one .
there were no apparent reasons at all. sometimes his body experienced a feeling of tremendous energy, and sometimes of great emptiness.
Qingbao stood up from the armchair and headed for bathroom. after taking a warm, refreshing bath he calmly lay on bed while being lost in thought. soon he fell asleep.
In a dream some unknow memories stared surfacing like a river. it was other person`s life but at the same time familiar feeling came ….  Qingbao `s body was emitting heat for some period of time    until   he suddenly woke up   in a cold sweat.
" ah ! .."
It took some time to   collect himself.   At that moment, the memories of his past life had already merged with his present personality …  confusion was gone   and then came slow  laugher 
" haha  hahahah  hahaah .."
"so that`s how it is!  I  remember now   …   but it is indeed shocking that  I was reincarnated in another  world  and   my  past  life's  memories  where  unlocked  at age of 15…  moreover, this is totally different world .  it looks like medieval period but   still something feels different ….  All right, let's get up. a little casual walk or activity will do. I need to clear my head! "
Light stood up,  put on some everyday clothes and headed to forging workplace.

After setting fire to the fireplace, he simply sat quietly on the sofa.
"for some reason I feel much more refreshed. it seems like my 5 senses were enhanced    and concentration  level also rose up. I really feel like coming up with totally brand new design "
Indeed, after recollection not only did memories and experience of past life came but mental power also had some drastic change. it felt like 50% increase. not to mention that before awakening, the light already had very strong mental power. it was his intrinsic nature.

Qingbao : 15  years old . not too tall and not too short .. Green hair and a slightly   dark green eyes. there was 95 % resemblance between past light and new body`s looks. His inborn strong mental power was greatly attributed to "metaphysical awaking ". Right now, only light`s   past life's memories were available  as for "metaphysical awaking "ceremony and such it was forgotten.
Qingbao was an orphan. Both of his parents died. without any siblings. picked by master Zhìhui  at the age of 4 in an orphanage..  Zhìhuì    once was a head of middle class aristocrat family . both  his sons died in  war and  and the decline of the family was inevitable.his fiancé was also dead due to a rare illness, but despite all these tragic moments of his life, his eyes not only did not diminish the light, but the spark of wisdom became stronger.

 as later he liked to say "person`s death arrives in different  forms.  sooner or later death will come.  so  instead  of focusing on  lost  focus  on  gain .what is there to   "gain" you ask ?- reminder of your mortality  .  death of  loved ones gives two possibilities  on how you can choose to look at situation.  first one – like common folk likes to do-  grief and indulgent  in self-pity , second one- "biggest gift" that is left by loved ones, even without any  awareness  of that  .  they go  but  they leave behind "remainder of death"  so  instead of focusing so much on  grief  focus  on "gift " .  even Unexpected  death of loved aren't in vain … as a result, your clarity rises.  
You are not inclined to spend so much time on meaningless actions that are often so likeable by common people. The entertainments invented by people, no matter how sophisticated they are, are just pathetic attempts to be forgotten and avoid boredom, without going beyond the comfort zone.
living every moment with clarity like it is last one. if you truly do so … instead of grief   you get calm, silent   wisdom that allows you to enjoy life and enjoyment is like steady burning candle instead of fast ignitable matchstick" . 
" it ,indeed, is rare to be thought by that kind  of man … you are gone but the wisdom  still illuminates this life`s  very moment ….  "
By chance light`s eyes landed on books.
   ...
Qingbao wasn't bookworm but never less he liked spending some quality time   reading books in library.
On one of the summer days. in library 6 years old Qingbao was reading books about travelers about forging, medicine, herbs …, suddenly master Zhìhuì   came in. after being quite for some time, what he often liked to do, he started walking toward the  books that young master  was reading .
"hmm… how is it, how do you feel about these books?"-asked Zhìhuì   in relaxed manner.
"it is really amazing. world is so vast just thinking about these  experiences makes me really excited."
Zhìhuì  faintly smiled:" if I could give you any advice … it would be: forget it, forget what you have read…! "
"forget it ?!"  -exclaimed bewildered young master.
"no matter how wonderful books are they are, after all, just secondhand knowledge …  
"Half-dead knowledge" . If someday you replace your unique reasoning with authority in your mind, you will no longer truly "think": you will only become a toy of someone else's opinion ...
the more verbal, the less real….  If you pay too much attention and allow yourself be mesmerized by authors then you may lose "your" unique path… use books only as reference, there really ain`t other value .  follow your intuition , even if ideas may contradict to what you have read …  only following your own unique path - you perceive a unique world, and this is exactly the world you need, and that kind of  world also needs your existence… Believe without believing. "after saying that he just vanished from room while qingbao was lost in thought.
…
    After room was warmed up light stood up and went to work-desk and staring drawing a new design for daggers. In fact, thanks to inborn high mental power light was very talented in creating weapon designs, growing up medical herbs, studying medicine – whether it was hands  on practice or theoretical thinking it was far above average. 
10 years of life were spent on reading books , traveling with master Zhihui to other cities – selling medicine and  weapons ,  weapon forging , some medicine practice  and cultivating  medical  herbs ,  practicing  or I would rather say  comprehending  martial  arts . 

Qingbao was more introverted and  when interacting with other kids  he  did so only   on basis that it  wouldn't be  his home village and travel time was the best choice   ,  as he was free to make social experimenting on friends/and foes . after all, while gaining valuable  experience , if  something went wrong  you can easily  cut off interactions and start anew.  if it is hometown, where people can easily find you, then that will be a hassle.  so, in this 10 years qingbao gained some social experience whether it was creating by his very own hands "friends" or "enemies "or converting "friends" to "enemies" and backward.  it is all thanks to his high mental power and guidance from master Zhihui that gave him some level of grasp of human`s heart. as master Zhihui often said "sometimes it might not be the case but nevertheless often there aren't necessary eternal friends or eternal enemies.  one can transformed into another.…" . In the end Qingbao was lone wolf. as for this "friends" or "enemies" they were just temporary companions.
  
After 15 minutes new drawing was done.
"hmm… let's call it  "black  star " today  is very special day so let me use special material -100 years old "wooden-rock iron" . wooden-rock iron gives  not only robust quality but also adds certain   flexibility,moreover it is 100 years which is considered  very rare  among mortals  . generally weapons made from  it can be sold for 120 gold coins.  if you know right place and time ,it can even   be sold for 180 gold coins .1 gold coin =100 silvers  and  it is quite enough  for average family`s well-being for 3 years.
Light a fire in a furnace , took   metal ingredients  and proceeded  purifying them . with exceptionally  good control ,   purification was completed in short span of time .  
The hammer skillfully landed on a weapon producing sparks with the addition of auxiliary tools, a form was created.. after cooling down it was  drawing time  and  handle making …   
usually, during forging process or concocting medicine, light`s concentration would   rise and as a result , time would slow down.  in reality it is not that time slows down  ,  it is just that the intensity of experiencing life moments increases .
. the more conditioned your mind is, more you see every day as the" same day" and quality  of perception is more  mechanical  . it is kind of  "  I have already seen everything " feeling.
 Master Zhihui  often liked to  say "life is short and  there is much to be experienced . if you can not extend time of life in terms of quintinite then you certainly can in terms of quality. 
Knowledge imposes an image and lies, Because the image is new every moment, And every moment there is a new and shocking Appreciation of all that we were. So forging and medicine and any other activities are not just to gain skills , it is to train intellectual concentration!"

today light yagami`s mental power increased to another level due to past life`s memories recollection so the depth and quality of his concerning was on another level too. 
"haha this is the best one I have ever forged so far. indeed, quality of my perception is totally different …"  light smiled while holding in hands   pair of black daggers. surface of daggers had strange   reddish hue. image of tiny stars and black flaming comet was exquisitely carved while black-reddish dragon handle gave very comfortable feeling. 
 "haha this is the best one I have ever forged so far. indeed, quality of my perception is totally different …"  light smiled while holding in hands   pair of black daggers. surface of daggers had strange   reddish hue. image of tiny stars and black flaming comet was exquisitely carved while black-reddish dragon handle gave very comfortable feeling. 
"all right, I think, I need more time before I can get used to this recollection of past life`s memories … to think that I would be living in another world.  so, death is not the end? But these who used death note would neither go to hell nor heaven …  it seems after death there really is a special place   or it can   also mean that every creature has some transcendent self which is beyond space and time and nothing can affect it? Ryuk didn't seem to know this stuff?  Indeed, these who used death note would neither go to hell nor  heaven because concept of hell or heaven is humanity's imaginary creation.
I once remember that Ryuk mentioned, world of death gods wasn't used to be  in such boring .declined state.  were there any external factors involved, perhaps?  Haha hahah..  world is surly a true mystery … 
Master Zhihui once told me that in this world there are some "extraordinary" people called  "sorcerer" or  "magus." And they can cultivate them-self to grasp power of nature. whether Master Zhihui   was "extraordinary" or not is not clear. 
nobody knows, he said, whether one day I will encounter chance to embark on journey of" sorcerer", nobody can be certain of that. what truly matters is the mindset that you cultivate. there are some lucky ones who have opportunity but cannot grasp it. so all I can do is "be prepared"…hmm you know it would be fun if  one day I cultivate my-self to the point of having ability to  travel to dimensions and by chance meet Ryuk… and maybe visit earth too …ahaha  
all right , i suppose, i am entertained enough by a few ideas ….in 3 days I will go to town "Límíng".  Every five years there is large commercial gathering. Weapons, herbs. Medicines are sold there. Getting some necessary supplies and selling some stuff will certainly do good. As  for now, it is best to  have a nap .
in this following days I would like to organize and merge "this" life's experience with "that" life`s …
And so, after using up some creative energy on forging, more clear-headed light went to bedroom.


in the night sky there can be seen some bizarrely  pulsating star ,standing lonely among other stars  and quietly   illuminating   darkness in this  life and death cycle  .

When Mrs. Wang saw Wang Yu coming home with Li Zi Yun she asked him, "Why did you get her discharged earlier? What happened?"
Wang Yu knew that he had to tell his family about what happened to Wang Yiran but he could not say it out. If he said anything about the Li family, then there was a high probability that his family may point fingers at Li Zi Yun. Wang Yu was well aware of how much Li Zi Yun hated the Li family and how they tortured her. So he wanted to avoid the topic as much as possible. Only Wang Yu knew what the Li family did to Li Zi Yun and he was not sure if Li Zi Yun wanted the Wang family to know about this so soon. So he thought of waiting until Li Zi Yun says anything about this.
Wang Yu cut short the conversation, "Mother… We are tired. Can we speak tomorrow?"
Mrs. Wang only wanted to ask about Li Zi Yun and she did not know why Wang Yu was dragging her inside. Li Zi Yun was waiting for Wang Yu to speak about Wang Yiran but he did not mention a single word about her. He quickly dragged her to the room.
Li Zi Yun started, "About Wang Yi…?"
Wang Yu stopped her, "Let's talk once we are inside the room"
Once they entered the room, Li Zi Yun asked Wang Yu, "Why didn't you tell Mom about Wang Yiran?"
"This is not the time"
"Then when's the right…" before Li Zi Yun had finished the sentence, Wang Yu entered the bathroom. Li Zi Yun could hear the shower running in the bathroom. She sat on the bed thinking about what to do. Li Zi Yun was not sure if he was avoiding the topic because he did not want to discuss about it or if he found it hard to accept the truth. The last few days had gone by so quickly for Li Zi Yun.  One day Wang Yu had taken her on a trip and the next day they were married. 
Li Zi Yun looked around the room. She was in bed when she was here before a few days, so she hadn't seen anything. Li Zi Yun got up and walked around the room, there was not much artifacts like how it was in other rooms. Wang Yu had kept the interior design quite simple. There was a door, which looked like a wall, if one did not look closely, it was almost impossible to find.
Li Zi Yun pushed the door and it opened. She entered the room and saw there were several rows of books from the ceiling to the floor on one side of the room. One side there was a couple of easels. Li Zi Yun had no idea that Wang Yu paints. Several canvases were raked against the wall and Li Zi Yun was looking at them. 
There was one large painting against the wall. It was a girl sitting under a tree, with her head resting against the tree, reading a book. Li Zi Yun looked closely and it looked like her. Wang Yu had gotten even her features right. She was wearing a cashmere hood, and she looked sad. Li Zi Yun was sure it was her, she was in her school uniform. But she couldn't remember seeing Wang Yu before joining the company. She looked through the painted canvas and saw that almost everything was a painting of her. 
Li Zi Yun looked at one painting after another; it showed her sitting under the tree, talking to someone, reading a book, walking… In all the painting Li Zi Yun looked young and it looked like Wang Yu had drawn everything after seeing her when she was still in school, and it was a sequence of paintings. She had no idea that Wang Yu had seen her earlier. Wang Yu's drawings were so perfect that the girl in the painting looked exactly like how she used to look when she was young.
A sudden happiness took over Li Zi Yun. She could not take her eyes of the painting. Wang Yu came out of the bathroom and could not find Li Zi Yun. The door to his private room was open.
Wang Yu called out, "Zi Yun… "
"I'm here… "  Li Zi Yun's voice came from the room. 
Wang Yu walked inside and saw Li Zi Yun looking at the paintings. When Wang Yu saw Li Zi Yun for the first time, she looked so sad, but when someone came over to speak to her, her reaction changed immediately. Wang Yu knew most of the socialites and the young girls from the rich family. The girl was wearing limited edition clothes, but she looked so thin and weak as if she suffered from malnutrition; and Wang Yu had not seen her before in any of the parties. 
Wang Yu was still in college when Wang Yiran's accident took place. The girl whom he saw in Wang Yiran's school was in his mind even after he left the school and he could not forget her. That was how when he saw the video, he mistook Li Xin Yi as Li Zi Yun. Something about the girl was different and in his free time, he had painted each and every scene that he witnessed that day. Wang Yu could have easily found out about the girl but he did not do that; he was just happy thinking about the girl in his mind. He was doubtful that the girl might be like the others rich spoiled girls and shatter the pure image he had of her, if he interrogates about her. If Wang Yu had not made Li Zi Yun his secretary, until the end he may not have known Li Zi Yun. 
There was a huge smile in Li Zi Yun's face. She had been thinking about why Wang Yu would be interested in her when he already had a fiancée. He had always avoided her question and never gave her a straight answer. Li Zi Yun was not the sweet type who would try to impress others, she always spoke what's on her mind or at least mostly, so she found it difficult to believe that Wang Yu was interested in her. 
"What is all this?"
Li Zi Yun was standing in front of the painting mounted on the wall. Wang Yu had been waiting for the right moment to show all this to Li Zi Yun. He thought of pacifying Li Zi Yun when she was angry using this, but she had found this herself. 

She was the eldest daughter of the family but her dad hated her. Her step sister or should she say half sister was one step away from taking everything away from her. Her step mother was trying to make her life a living hell. 
Her boss was waiting for the moment when he could make her pay for what she took away from him. 
But she will endure it all. She had nothing to lose. She will not succumb to the situation.

P.S: I Don't own the book cover. 

English is not my mother tongue. So please forgive me if I make any mistakes.

Two hours till our first date.

There is nothing to be nervous of, like seriously, it could be a mere heading-out day between friends, as he said, "No Homo". We are definitely not heading for a candle dinner at a fancy restaurant where he would unfeelingly order a "dinner for two" or "the Lovebird course" and make the waiter uncomfor- I mean, confused. Maybe we would exchange a few conversations and hurl insults at each other, yeah like we always did. 

I stumbled upon the piles of clothing available which surely I would look good in neither of them. Listing down the number of things I got to do in my head, I staggered. Personal hygiene is the best policy! I stepped into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I closed my eyes as the hot water began crashing down to my head and I set my thoughts away. I could feel the heat wrapping me up like his arms; I could hear his faint moans within the hushes of water; I could smell the minty aroma on every inch of his skin - it was a little arousing at times; the steam sneaked into my ears like his whispers, as I imagined the melody between us, my hands wavering on my body like an amateur while something built up at somewhere… The sensations, why have I not feel this before till recently? Why am I not aware that there was something going on between us all the time? 

"I am not sure, but if it was a friendship before, you should not turn it into something else, if you were doing fine that is."

… I opened my eyes as my fantasy faded. 

Standing in the fluttering steam, I looked into the mirror. I stared at the silhouette carefully as I lifted my limbs up and down randomly, turning around. Men had always appreciated more lines than curves. And I was contrary to the social belief. Would Jake like these curves on me, especially when he was all lean and fantastic with striking lines and bold squares? I myself could not tolerate the imperfection on me, so how would Jake be able to accept all these? I embraced myself, my fingers tickled the uneven surface of my skin, feeling the moisture invading my security. The wounds over my body, they never disappeared. Would Jake appreciate these? I mean, would anyone sane appreciate these? 

"These seriously are terror…" It was a moment of realization when I was nauseated by the wiggling curves of my body the first time ever in my life. There was one split second where I thought I almost launched the shower head at the mirror. If I was Jake, I would not date this body… I think. Are we ready for this? Is this not a little too fast? But we had been friends since our Bachelor days, we should be more than ready to welcome a new stage of our relationship, or so I thought… What does Jake like me for? 

Am I ready for this? 
I whispered. 

One hour till our first date.

I picked my usual checkered fleece with nothing on inside this time. That was one fine twist popped out of nowhere in my head. "To keep your partner entertained," was the tip I got from my friends, although they were dating females. Jake is one kind of female, I guess? Mom had once taught me to treat ladies gently before. There was a fine lining between being a gentleman and an entertainer and at often times people overruled that lining and scarred their partners for life. So I guess this should be fine. Maybe he would never notice throughout our date. I looked into the mirror as I combed my hair slightly with my fingers. "To style or not to style - that is the question." I sort of mumbled, I think I must have gone nuts over this date-unalike date. I eventually let my mane flow as it was. Why do I feel so panicked and lost? I had been with Jake all these years, there were occasions where he even saw me naked. That was at the gym's bathroom, I need to clarify, nothing had happened between us back then, unlike now… 

Just be myself, my usual self… I put on my shoes and tidied my collar the 20th time, then I began a brief rehearsal. How should I put it? "Good day, man." That did not feel right, "Hello there," sounds a bit too formal? I need to consult my friend on this, no I do not have the time! 

30 minutes till our first date.

I scurried down the staircases. I landed my shaking feet to the pavement grey. The first stop would be the library at Easter Road. I tapped the postal code on the search engine, well Jake was kind enough to inform me the code, "Just in case…" he said. Fortunately it was just a straight road ahead from my apartment, I walked along the road and passed by Mrs. Jane's home, it was sunny. "2 kilometers," it says, something manageable within a 30 minute brisk-walk I thought, till I was faced to a slope with an immense altitude. It took me longer than I thought.

5 minutes post our first date.

I made it to the library. On my way I had been fabricating all sorts of excuses to rationalize my disappointing misbehavior, despite the fact that Jake could have identified at the first syllable. He is really good you know. Let me take a look… I was at the entrance and Jake was nowhere to be found. Automatically I took out my phone to check the time since I was 5 minutes late. There was a message from Jake. I was expecting a thesis on the mannerism of first dating but it was a mere statement from him apologetically saying that he would be late and suggesting me to head in first.

I stepped into the library. It was livelier than I thought. People were exchanging ideas in whispers on their tables. The librarian was having a small chat with the visitors. There seemed to be a tiny toy train carrying crates of books rhythmically running by. The giant globe hung on top of the ceiling was twisting with the other entities in the solar system. The scenery before seriously contradicted whatever he had been perceiving on libraries. Is this a library for kids? I approached the reception and asked for a pamphlet on this library. The design of the library piqued my interests. Apparently the Fantasia family designed the entire foundation. The owner of this library…

"Boo!" I would be scared into jumping up to the ceiling while shrieking on top of my lungs by that tickling sensation on the neck if it was not Jake. 

10 minutes post our first date.

"Sorry I'm late, I was occupied early in the afternoon." Muttered Jake into my ears as he hugged me from the back. His arms were clasped over my shoulders like a koala on its nap. "Could you let go…" 

"Objection." Was it me or the clasp had become firmer? "I would like to express my sincerest apology towards my missing punctuality." He did try sounding formal… Did Jake lose a portion of his intelligence on the way he rushed here? My answer was confirmed the moment I saw his pursed lips. Who is this? It dressed like Jake, spoke like Jake and even smelled like Jake but… 

"Well, we are here to check out the books, aren't we?" I spread my arms open and knocked Jake away with a body slam. "So you preferred my indifferent self?" Like if I did not want to be further terrified by the version differences of Jake, yes. "But this is how you had been behaving the whole time. I was mirroring it after all." That comeback was mind-blowing. "Well, shall we?" Yeah, that sounded more Jake. I kept the pamphlet in my pocket as I headed to one of the racks at the corner. 

Our date had begun. 
I supposed.

It's a collection of lovely fairytale, of hopes and dreams, butterflies and prince. 

A fantastic town of stories for both children and adults. 
;-)

Entertaining yet inspiring, has a lesson told in kindergarten style. 

Surely naive and cute.

Happily Ever After.
